Chez 10 prepared by boiling fresh
drawn milk in carthen pots for an hour or
more and adding, after it has cooled,
little curdled milk, says the St. James
Gazette. Tho curdled mass Is then
churncd for half an hour, some hot water
Is added. and the churning continued for
half an hour longer, when tho butter
FORMS This butter is then boiled until
all the watcry particles and curds have
been thrown of by repeated skimmings.
rne clear oil is poured into vessel to
cool, and the graduated mass thus
formed is ghee. 1t is kept in earihen
pots and sold at banyas' shops at the
rate OF two pounds to three pounds for a
rupee. If well made. ghee will keep
good for years, losing its flavor some
what, but not its properties, which inn
prove with age. In some old families
you will find ghee over 100 years old,
buried under the earth in carthcn jars.
Instances are known Of the preservation
OF ghee without faint, for 200 years, and
even longer. Ghce is an article of great
comm rcial importance in many parts Of
India, being exported to all the sea
coasts OF eastern and southern Asia TO
the extent of 400 to 500 tons annually.
Accord ug to tho statistical authorities,
l,236. 433 p,unds of gbce Were exported
from India in the year 1S79-SO.
All but the poorest classes in India,
whether Hindoo or Mohammedans, use
ghec for ordinary cooking purposes.
Where the English cook uses butter,
suet or lard, the Indian uses ghcc. In
Trying potatoes, in cooking dai, in cook
ing swectmeats in preparing tasteful
dishes tho upper and middle classes
always use ghec, which is also rubbed
over chupaties, the fiat flour cakes serv-
ing for bread, and poured over rio, at
the time Of eating. One of the secrets
oil the fine flavor OF India made curries
is the use of good ghce. And neither
Hindoos nor Mohammcdans will touch
any food that is cooked with ghec which
they believe to be adultcratcd with u g's
or cows fat.
Ghee is believed by tho Hindoos to be
the purcst eatable thing under the sun.
The widow, who is forbidden to partake
of all luxurious food, is allowed to take
Shee with her simple bread of rice. The
self--dcnying jogees, sunnyasis, and
other ascetics sometimes live on nothing
but ghec. Al wedd ings, funerals, and
on other great occasions public dinners
must be given, or the offending party
Will be punished by accommodation
from caste. Most of the dishes that are
served Mt these banqucts are prepared
with ghce. At many festival, aims con-
sisting of rice, dai, and swcctmeats are
given TO the Brahmans, and must lie
cooked in ghee. The food set before
the Brahmans at feast times consists
mainly of swcetmcats, in the prepare
ton OF which ghee enters largely. At
cremations ghec is poured over the
corpse and on the funeral pyre.

4 Curious Creature.

Count Joachim Pfeil, the German

FERROUS creature seen on the coast OF the
Ulanga district: 1--WE often saw an

and then IT appeared on the surface for
n few seconds. Once, when we shot at
it, VIC were surprised to sec it rise out OF
the water and fly away. Afterward we
succeeded in obtaining ono Of the curious
creatures. 1t was tho size Of large
game duck, with black pumage and a
metallic lustrc. On its wings we noticed
few very light yellow feathers. Tho
neck was very long aud thin, aud crdeI
in long, pointed beak, at the cdgo Of
which were two rows Of sharp teeth. At
first sight no head was visible, and tho
neck appeared to end only in a bcak.

neck was seen. II it was frightened it

ity which VIC noticed was that when tho
bird had left the water it lay down on
bush with outstrctchcd wings to got dry.

eve were climbing up Emigrant hill
near Uintah, our horses taking their
time, as they were nearly tagged out.
when we heard the gobblc of wild geese
overhead. Looking up we beheld large
flock flying westward far out Of range.
Having nothing else TO do We watched
their movements. They seemed TO be
having a regular political caucus. Every
minute or two they formed in complete
circle, with what appeared to be the
leader in the center, and after squawking
a minute they would break into con-
fused mass Of moving wings. In a short
time they formed in nearly perfect

only remained in that position for n
snort period. The next move was into
a triangle, then into letter V, and as
they disappeared from view they had
inverted the V and were en- route TO

and every housekeeper should be ia

he considers in nearly all cases is due to
the muriatc of zinc and the muriatc of
tin. He says: Reject every article of
canned goods that docs not show tho
line OF resin around the edge of the
solder OF the cap, the same as is seen on
the scam of the can. Reject every can
that does not have the name of the manu-.
facturcr or firm upon it, as we'll rs the
name OF the company and the town whers
manufactured. Standards have all this.
When the wholesale dealer is ashamed
TO have his name on the goods, fight shy
OF them. P.ess on the bottom OF the
can. Ii decomposition is commencing
the tin will rattle, the same as the bottom
OF the oiler of your sewing machine will
do. If the goods arc souni it will be
solid and there will be no rattle to tho
tin. Reject every tin that shows any
signs OF rust around the cap on the inside
of the head of the can. If housewives
are educated to these points, then the mu-
rate OF zinc amalgam will become n
